I would highly recommend going whitewater rafting at least once in your life. We go to Spring River each year, but the whitewater isn't nearly as violent as seen in these videos. The water is running high in a lot rivers in the Midwest and Southwest United States. You need some skill to ride rivers like the ones in the videos in this article.
